    Being attacked about Christmas....by another Christian?!

    I have an aquaintence that shared the biblical fact that Jesus was not born on the 25th of December and that we celebrate absolutely nothing on this day. I respectfully agreed with the fact that it was not the actual day He was born but I didn't agree that we celebrate nothing on this day. I...

    Thank you so much for this message!! It helped me to understand that sometimes God is trying to see how bad you want it. I am really working hard to push through and do what I have been created to do.

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    I am not trying to be mean or anything but here is the deal: 1.my loan is not in default. 2. I did not know about my college fund being spent until the emergency happened so I went to school thinking the money was there. I also had a scholarship which helped out a lot. I don't think the Lord is...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    What I meant by living for me was that I would stop giving everyone's opinon so much priority and have joy in what I have. I didn't mean that i wasn't living for the Lord. Also I stated previously that money had been set aside and planned for my education but my parents were laid off and they...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    Thank you for your response but I have already taken it as a lesson learned and to be honest I have spoken with my parents and we discussed these same verses but in this case, I had no control over what happened. All I can do at this point is pay it off and move on. I'm just thankful its not...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    I have spoken to them but because of the fact that the account is in collections, all I can do at this point is find a way to pay it off. I have called and talked to several people and I have gone in person.

    How do YOU deal with it?

    I totally agree Tater! Like it says in the bible, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone" I'm sure the intentions were good but it came across like you have never sinned in your life. Man has sinned since the garden of eden and that is why Jesus died on the cross. Its going to happen. its...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    To your first point: I do realize that God's plan is not the same as my plan. That is crystal clear to me. But, I have been told that if we ever want to know what is going on with our lives, then it is okay to ask God why and thats all I am doing. To your second point: I never said they weren't...

    "Allowing" unsaved to attend church?

    Personally, I think that by not allowing those that are saved to attend church just gives people the thought that Christians feel that they are holier than thou. As Christians, we have all had to become saved at one point or another and by not allowing the unsaved to enter into the church, we...

I have taken everything into consideration but what I am saying is everytime I said it wouldnt work out if I did it the way someone suggest, then I am considered to be whining or I am...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    I am sorry. I apologize. I went to church today and realized what the problem was and I apologize. I should have asked Christ all these questions and not you all because you all are just as flawed as I am. I know now what I have to do. In my offense though, I have no problem with...

    What is going on? Is God against me finishing my degree?!

    Thanks for all of the advice but I have pretty much given up any hope of working in a lab like I had dreamed. All of my dreams and promises that were made to me have been smashed up to this point and I have just pretty much checked out of life at this point because my credit is in the toilet, I...
